DD in TX on Bottlecaps, what tires?

[photonn]

If you just bought a 325i daily driver for a warm weather state (like Texas) and it needed shoes for its bottlecaps, what would you buy? I drive less than 10k a year, so I can afford some performance at the expense of treadwear.

Yeah, yeah, I know, ditch the bottlecaps. I will. But, it is going to take some time to find my wheels. If I had bought the car a month ago, Ronal LS's would be on a UPS truck headed my way now. Of course, now they are not available and my second choice, Euroweaves, are even harder to find. I like a stock look, so it's gonna take some time to find wheels.

What size? 195/65/14?

[Mystikal]

195/60/14 RT-615s.

same boat here............I cant find many 205/60/14's around anymore on the net. I think the 195's would look to low of a profile on a stock e30 ??? Theres gap enough already :) ANy thoughts ???

[Mystikal]

Yeah, it's a noticeable gap. But there aren't any proper-height 14" tires that will be anywhere near as fun as that one.

or 195's for now............orrrrr buy a set of rims. Then Id be double spending ....arrgghhh ! Oh well, the car still needs paint anyway.
